Chapter 70"Mommy, I hope you and Daddy will come back together again. Daddy loves you and you love him, too."I was taken aback at my little Liutrich's words. I thought that he was going to ask me something, but he said something that could make my stomach churn. And it also happened that his siblings heard it."Yes! Mommy, you should get back together with Daddy again," Luciana agreed, chirping."We want another sibling, Mommy." This time, it was Lumiere.This made me chuckle nervously, as I had no idea what they were talking. Why would they still push me to be with their father again? Was it because they were envious as some parents were together?And why would Liutrich say that I still love his father? I wasn't!"Listen, my ducklings." I knelt before them to have our faces even. Calm down, Faustina. They were your children. Be patient with them. "Our mate bond has completely shattered, and we decided not to mend it again." It was mostly my sole decision. Even though Alucard insist

Chapter 72Since that day, Alucard and I hadn't spoken to each other. To be specific, we hadn't talked about bearing the surname of his to our children. I didn't want to talk about it as well as things had been settled.I was left with no choice after all. I could do nothing; even Alucard couldn't fight against them.My children had the right to have their father's surname as they had lycan blood. If I turned the world upside down, Luciana, Liutrich, and Lumiere were still part of the royal lycan family.It could also mean that they would be called Your Highnesses."Daddy, why do I keep seeing Lady Charity with you? Does this mean that you will be engaged with her again?"I almost coughed at Lumiere's question, having chills down my spine as I wondered how he could open it up during supper. My heart even dropped as I saw how enthusiastic he was at this moment, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.I really thought that he wo

Chapter 74"I didn't expect I would be having some tea with you, Your Serene Grace. It is an honor to drink with you." Charity's beaming voice filled the balcony as she sat beside me while a servant served her some tea. Her eyes seemed sparkling like a diamond shone by the sunlight as they roamed around, appreciating the view. "And I understand now that His Royal Highness cannot tend to my business for a moment."I almost pursed my lips into a thin line at the way she sounded like she finally understood that Alucard had no time to entertain. But I remained composed and ensured I didn't show any inch of irritation to my face. I slowly exhaled upon seeing this beautiful balcony where everyone could see the beauty of the garden and fields of Alucard's castle.

Chapter 76Alucard must have seen that I was still in shock when he sighed and loosened his little hold on my shoulders. "My apologies, Faustina...I should not have done that..." he said, his voice turning gentle. He gradually moved, lowering himself to the floor and leaning against the couch. The anguish was evident on his attractive face, stirring a sense of guilt in me as my inner wolf felt the urge to harm me for causing his distress.I bit my lower lip in guilt, not knowing that I reacted like that. No, it was because I never wanted to hear his explanation. "We already talked about this before, Alucard. I wouldn't want to listen to your explanation."I needed to remind him about when we were still on our last mission. It was the day of my birthday when I had to put some walls between us, wanting to drift us apart. And my decision didn't please my wolf. She had been wanting to hear Alucard's explanation but to

Chapter 78A wave of tension gripped me when Alucard remained silent. Even his touch had unexpectedly grown cold, and his gaze appeared distant, as if fixed on nothingness. Shock was evident on his handsome face."Um... Alucard?" I blinked, attempting to capture his attention, but he seemed lost in his own thoughts as if his mind had ventured elsewhere. "Alu...?" This time, I snapped my fingers in front of him. "Are you alright?"Alucard flinched. "Uh..." He kept blinking so many times as I watched his face look like a ripe tomato before covering his mouth with his hand. "G-Give me a moment, Faustina..."Confused, he looked away. His reddened cheeks never dissipated, and his expression was still in a state of shock.Seeing him in that state made me scoff and chuckle. "Are you that surprised that I said that, pudding?" I asked teasingly, predicting that he was acting like this because of my statement earlier.His face went into a deep crimson, which confirmed my suspicion. I couldn't h
